Nov 19, 2008 - This is an eye-opening video!! We all know that there are hazardous chemical disposal sites all around, but this is a blatant act of racism!! They figure that people who live in Chester are disposable!! This is like the site in China where we are sending all of our old electronics for them to disassemble so the different things can be recovered. This is NOT right, and something has to be done about it!! The question is what, and how? Any suggestions??

Jun 4, 2009 - They aint no such thang as environmental racism. It just so happens that black people are typically poorer than their white counterparts due to lower of intelligence (Bell curve). As a need for employment arises, blacks will tend to reside near factories that produce pollution. As the blacks began to migrate into the urban communities, the traditional Caucasian residents begin moving out to the suburbs in what we call white flight. NATURAL OCCURRENCE + NOT RACISM

Kirilltraceur Says:

Jun 4, 2009 - "lower intelligence" I disagree.

Oct 11, 2010 - Houston is like this only worse.

custardaghost Says:

Oct 11, 2010 - Above all things, the USA values and ensures the absolute freedom of business to do whatever business wants. Its why politicians are entirely in the pockets of corporations and their lobbyists, why the EPA is toothless, why the bullshit pretence of "local power" or state's rights really means no laws or regulations at all.

airman842 Says:

Dec 10, 2010 - @custardaghost all I can say is Republican Congressional Power. They have worked hard to destroy the environment over the years. They don't give a f*ck

airman842 Says:

Sep 6, 2011 - @Ramboy208 Not sure I follow. What is political theory? Does political theory not consist of environmental policy AND economics? Politics cover a huge area. Back to the point though... Republicans don't give a damn about going green. The top Republican says global warming is a theory. It's scientifically proven and supported by 99% of climatologists, including my cousin who has his Ph.D in atmospheric science. Economic conservatives (republicans mostly) do not support environmental protections
